The Firkin Crane

Contemporary Dance

Wednesday
07.00 - 08.30 pm
The classes are a combination of yoga, released dance technique, relaxation, some elements of walking meditation, and dynamic dance sequences including rolls down and up off the floor, arm and leg swings, some basic elements of movement improvisation and some elements of contact improvisation. All of the classes aim to gain your own body’s energy back, to get the body's alignment in order, to move effortlessly for everyday life.
Classes will make you aware of the way you walk, of your posture, and how to correct if it necessary in order to be more efficient at work/life, to pay attention to the breath as you move/walk, to learn to disconnect from the mind in order to let the body talk, and to take control of your own body and explore its abilities.

Level: Intermediate.

6 weeks from Wednesday 25 January until 29 February 2012.
Fees: €60

Inma's Beginners' classes are open to people who want to learn more about their bodies and even the connection of the body and the mind, not necessarily for dancers, actors, performers, or people in the Arts, but anyone who never actually thought they could dance or move their bodies in a space without feeling that they were being judged.

These classes can help you to be more confident about yourself as you gain strength in your body, suddenly you will start to feel good about yourself, you will be taught some dance sequences to move to music, so you will be challenged mentally in a creative way, you will also learn to get out of your mind and let the body take the control.

Please bring very comfortable clothing for dancing, nothing tied, something very comfortable is the best. No shoes, bring socks and PLENTY OF WATER.

Group ages are diverse from 16 years-old until 100 years-old smile Please feel free to ask any questions anytime by email or phone at  087-779-19-11
